It's been cold outside! Regardless, it's a new month, which means a new blog entry!
Anime Started watching a series called Kimi ni Todoke not long ago; two episodes in, and already enjoying it. So far, it's the story of a girl who everyone thinks is made of pure evil, when actually she's just bad at being social, and she looks up to this uber-charismatic guy and the two become friends. Probably one of the more original "romance"-type stories I've seen in a while, though again, I've barely started watching it. The art style of the show is pretty fun, too! Still keeping up with FMA Brotherhood. It's getting fairly close to catching up with the US manga releases; it'll be fun to actually not know what's going to happen in the anime! Spoilers for Toaru Kagaku no Railgun in the sentences to follow, but... The recent Index cameos have been win :lol: Granted the two series take place in the same city, it's still fun to see all those characters from Index making appearances in Railgun, especially Index herself. Cameos aside, the series has been quite awesome; a shame that it'll be over in just several more episodes... Nodame Cantabile Finale has been feeling lacking to me somehow. Maybe I'm getting tired of the characters after the past two seasons or something, or maybe it's just the fact that Nodame has been acting more serious lately. Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu continues to be adorable; no other anime series does a better job at "cute humor." And that's all I have to say about that. Webcomics Speaking of cute humor, if you're a Touhou fan, you definitely need to read Life of Maid (if you haven't yet). I've laughed out loud reading this series more times than I can remember. If you don't know much about Touhou, I'm sure there are some universal jokes, and some of the characters' personalities can probably be picked up through reading, but knowing the inside-jokes of the fandom ahead of time definitely adds to the humor. Oh, and some of those random links I placed earlier are from Left-Handed Toons, another favorite webcomic of mine which I've probably mentioned in the past. Other favorites (along with Life of Maid) include 2P Start (which has the greatest Podcasts known to man) and Brawl in the Family. Any other webcomic pales in comparison. Even Blue Starlight! Artwork And speaking of Blue Starlight, one more comic to go until the conclusion of what I consider the "introduction" to the series! Hard to believe it's been thirty comics already. As it stands, there are about fifty more comics left to do, but I'm sure more ideas will be tacked on as it progresses. By the way, Blue Starlight has an RSS feed now, for anyone interested. Great for Feedly! I guess this falls under artwork, but I recently released a new YTP, FEY Chronicles 2, which is the second sequel to Project FEY. To me, the entire FEY series is like a series of sketchdumps (in video-remix form), but it seems to be well-liked, and I enjoy making them, and so I do. The only problem is that when I finish a new chronicle, I have to wait a while before I can gather enough more ideas for a new one, which takes months. Back to BSL, I'm considering making t-shirts perhaps? Wondering if there might be any interest at all. And I'm also thinking of opening commissions for drawing characters in BSL Comics style (similar to what I did for Touhou and 2P Start). Maybe $6 per character (head to waist) or two for $10? Video-Games What are video-games? But yeah, I'm back on campus without a console; will be playing Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Infamous, and Fable 2 whenever I'm back home and have enough time. Plus I need to play through Dragon Age again as an elf mage (already beat the game as a human noble). Why do I keep buying games if I clearly don't have the time to play them? Then there's several others coming out I want to play too... So for now, I'm stuck with my DS and laptop. What little time I have to play games is spent mostly on Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, which I'm very close to beating. Following that will be Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Also have a few games on my laptop that I bought because they were on sale a while back (and I'd heard they were good games anyway), and that list includes Machnarium, Samorost 2, and Braid -- only the last of which I actually know anything at all about, to be honest... The other two will (hopefully) be pleasant surprises to me. *browses games on laptop* Oh hey, it's Audiosurf! Haven't played that in a while. But for now, it's back to studying for my Literature exam. ...Well, the exam is essay format, so I'll consider this blog entry my study-session of the day. Now to decide whether to go finish Bowser's Inside Story or start BSL 31... PS: Here's a pointless list of my top favorites in games, anime, and web-videos. |
